There is no doubt but what Welsh had a slight shade over the American, but experts over the water contend that the mar gin was too harrow to warrant fhe shifting of a championship. Ritchie Was the aggressor thrfltfgH out, and towards the close of the mill dealt out fiome severe punish ment to the Bfiton. The referee's decision was based solely oh the good showing Welsh had made Earlier in the battle. Ritchie and Welsh are matched again to fight in November, and the American will have a chance to even tip for the defeat Willie, with the ex perience gained in this mill, will not delay his rally'BO long. In the meantime Charlie White is issuing challenges to both Ritchie and Welsh, but there is little hdpe that the new champion will gay any attention to the Chicagbah at the present time. On the showing he made against Ritchie in Milwaukee, White is the logical challenger. But Welsh first wants to make- some vaudeville money, as Ritchie got prac tically all 6f the gate receipts for the London fieht STANDING OF THE CLUBS - American League. " W. L.
